The above downsized 4 frame 3900x16500 pixel vertical stitch blend of a cascade over glaciated granite bedrock in Emigrant Wilderness is a no name seasonal creek on Cherry Creek that usually dries up by late summer as is the situation with a great many early summer streams in such bedrock areas. From where the stream doglegs to its junction on Cherry Creek is about a 420 foot drop. These map cross hairs show the junction location: (Note manually copy and then paste the URL into an address browser window as the forum SW mutilates the link.)

Switching to the map Satellite tab shows the current Google Maps satellite view when it was just trickling last summer. I downsized the above by half to 1950x8250 pixels then screen captured a series of sequential 800x700 pixel crops for the below 9 images. The red dots show where a corner of the previous higher elevation image was to help understand how they match up. The image frames were shot from across the canyon, on the east shoulder of Mercur Peak on June 15, 2017 with my Sony A6000 with SEL55210 zoom lens at 144mm. And yes one can see a white patch of snow to the right of this first patch below as there was considerable melting snows in the areas though the slope shown is a sunny south facing exposure.
